Kong's with PB and Raw Eggs.

[halter91]

Just curious, I bought a kong for my Maximus and is it healthy for him to eat Peanut Butter, How often is too much. And I heard that a raw egg is good for a dogs coat but I'm not sure. I tried to do some research on the web but no luck. Thnks, Finally some sunshine and 60 degrees in Philly!!!! Max loves the outside.

My golden Daisy, loves a kong filled with peanut butter! I give one to her once every week, as for raw egg, i dont give her that. I could make them sick.

Max is so cute!!!
I put peanut butter in my dogs' kongs, and they love it--I have no idea how much is too much though.
I have heard of the raw egg thing, but I don't give it to my dogs--Kito (my Shiba), used to eat mackerel every 2 weeks to shine up his coat, but I couldn't handle the smell anymore
I had thought about the eggs, but I thought I might just scramble them up and give them to the dogs--at least they're cooked that way--but I don't know if they loose any nutrients after being cooked.

I have given Timber a bit of peanut butter, and God knows how much Leather's gotten after all of her kitchen raids

I'm not sure about the raw eggs though. A friend of mine gives his husky raw eggs every morning to keep her fur shiny, but I do know for a fact that dogs can get samonella, and everyone should assume that all eggs carry it, for safety measure. I'm not sure how susceptible they are to it compared to humans, but maybe you should cook the egg just incase?

I've wondered the same thing about PB....I put some in Nebo's kong occasionally, but not too much.

And I don't know about the raw eggs, but I wouldn't give them to my dog.

Some people give their dogs raw eggs as part of the BARF diet. I've given kai raw chicken, beef, turkey, etc...nothing wrong so far. But i suppose there's always a chance...

You have to be careful with those Not too many. Dogs don't have the right digestive enzymes need to digest raw meat, so it can upset their stomach

I've done quite a lot of research on the BARF diet, and have started to incorporate some of it into Malone's diet. Yes, one of the recommended things is a raw egg (in the shell and everything). Wolfsoul, I'm just curious to know what you think dogs and canines eat in the wild. Did you think that someone cooked all their meals before they ate them or did you think they were vegetarians???

Just curious as to how I can get a pic in my signature?? Max and I started Dog school last night. It went well. Looking forward to next week.

Drake likes PB and gets if every once in a while. I too have incorporated the BARF diet with the help of our vet. Drake gets a raw egg with his food every other day.

Kia LOVES peanut butter and if she's been a good girl, I stuff her Kong full.

I also give her a raw egg every once in awhile. I hear it helps shine up their coat. She's never been sick from it.

When dogs were in the wild they ate raw meat, yes, but when humans took them in, fed them only table scraps and such, they took away the digestive enzymes that some other animals have, like the wolf. They also made an animal that was completely dependant on humans.

It clearly states that there are no benefits of raw meat and that it actually makes them sick. Can give them pancreatis, brain and kidney illnesses, etc.

In the shell??? I had no idea!!! I want Kito to get nice and shiny again, how exactly do you do this!!!

and lol, someone cooks all of their meats

I give Foxy a raw egg about once or twicw a week. It really makes his coat smooth and shiny and it is good for him at the same time.

I'm wondering this too....lol.........just the thought of handing my dog a raw egg in the shell completely gags me.

Actually, the thought of feeding my dog anything raw completely gags me, lol. I won't even *touch* raw meat.
